Some of you may have read my earlier thread where I described the engine would not restart..
Well I checked out the wiring harnesses at the brain end and everything checked out. I have ordered a new CHT and have replaced the rotor and cap this is just to see if it gets it going as I have not found the problem Anyway I decided to check the valve clearance after reading the appropriate literature I hoisted the car only to be once again totally pissed by the design of this car. Question Is it possible to remove the valve covers and adjust the valves with the heat exchangers in place? I am starting to regret that I bought this car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) moral support and possibly some therapy will be require (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Hi
I did mine with the late exhaust, now that is a pain in the arse but back to your issue. I don't think it is anything to do with your valves if the car was running before. Don't put yourself through the pain. My car did exactly the same thing as yours I put some new plugs in got a jump so I had plenty of cranking power, checked the fuel pressure and cranked the shit out of it and it eventually started. May have been flooded due to the many times of trying with the injectors priming. Don't pump the gas just foot flat to the boards. Good luck |
